I wish we could think of a better name for this - it's too similar to
is_zone_device_page() so I can never remember if it includes FS_DAX pages or
not. Unfortunately I don't have any better suggestions though.

This will fail if device private support isn't enabled. Does device coherent
need to depend on that?

Also there is this check further down:

                if (!pgmap->ops || !pgmap->ops->migrate_to_ram) {

Device coherent pages don't use the migrate_to_ram() callback, so this should
check for migrate_to_ram == NULL in that case.

                        WARN(1, "Missing migrate_to_ram method\n");
                        return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
                }

As I understand things device coherent pages use normal PTEs, so it would be
good if you could consolidate this to use the same code path as for normal
pages.
